Quick Start Guide

Similar to its mirror, King's Gauntlet, hunters will be hunting in the tower. However, this Rift tower version might be confusing for anyone new in this area. There are currently 8 uniquely themed floors within the tower. Check out the following for the Quick Start guide:

1) Hunt outside tower to get Gauntlet Elixir to trade for Gauntlet String Cheese


2) Enter the tower, on subsequent runs you can choose an augmentation to help you.

Augmentation is only for that particular run.


3) Hunt inside tower to clear floors. You only get steps if you catch a mouse.

Brie String Cheese works here too but Gauntlet String Cheese is best as it attracts the Terrified Adventurer Mouse which gives x2 steps.

You have limited hunts before you are kicked out (base 40 hunts).


4) Upgrade Speed to take more steps; Sync for more hunts; Siphon for bonus hunts after catching Eclipse.

These are permanent & can be upgraded at anytime to immediately reap the benefits.


5) You can use Champion's Fire for more loot [+1 similar to Queen Quesada Mouse] and to take more steps [+1 similar to Tower Mana]


6) Completing each floor gives a reward in the form of a floor cache.

You get them when you retreat. You can retreat anytime.

Clicking on the retreat button shows you what you will get.


7) Floor 8 is the mini-boss, Shade of the Eclipse Mouse.

You are not going to reach Floor 8 on your first run, concentrate on upgrading Speed and Sync.


8) Once you have enough Fragment of the Eclipse from Shade of the Eclipse Mouse & reached Floor 25, you can choose Ultimate Umbra as your augmentation on your next run.

This allows you to catch The Total Eclipse Mouse which drops Core of the Eclipse.

Use those for the new trap, base, skin and codexes.
